Not found anything so far!

Done 150 miles in it as a shakedown, brakes are suprisngly good, for a 17year old car it drives really well.

Couple of the interior bulbs need replacing, and it needs a new headunit (to run the built in Bose sound system, ahem). Touch wood it should be a good place to keep the weather off the S2k

Amazing car for the money.

I know someone who has a iirc N reg 728i SORNed. Needs a good polish, but drives well. A new car purchase and lack of time have meant that someone will get a bargain if he ever gets around to putting it on eBay.
